Description

Guayusa has been consumed for centuries by indigenous peoples of the upper Amazon Basin for sustained energy, cultural ritual and medicinal use. Along with yerba mate and yaupon, guayusa is one of the few known species to contain caffeine in the holly genus. The practice of consuming it in the night before a hunt is the root of its nickname the 'night watchman'. Hunters would drink it for its stimulating effect, helping them stay awake and alert through the night. This spirited blend is a great way to kickstart the day or power through all-nighter work sessions.

I got a sample in my Christmas order and after one sip, I ordered the largest sized loose tea bag available. This one will bring a smile to your face. It it so good with a coconut hint and all herbal. I love it.

My local coffee shop was featuring this tea as its "seasonal" flavor, and after trying it, I couldn't stop thinking about it (in a good way)! It has a unique, unusual flavor that I find myself craving. The shop didn't stock it so I went direct to rishi-tea.com, where my order was shipped promptly and I had my own supply in just a few days. Well done, Rishi!

I love this. I have been drinking it (without anything added in) at least twice a day since I received my order. I'm so glad I decided to try it. It has a buttery scent that is delicious. The taste is much subtler than black tea. It's very light--is it too fanciful to say it's like drinking sunshine? I don't want to lead future purchasers to disappointment. I also love black tea, and this is entirely different.

I am totally hooked on this! I drink it with a little bit of stevia and coconut milk. YUM!!! I bought it to get off coffee. I actually tried to have a cup of coffee the other day and hated it (after being a total coffee fanatic for 20 years)! This is so delicious! Rishi is the best quality tea!!
